Society welcomes Ontario NDP passage of pro-nuclear resolution

The ONDP has recognized the importance of clean energy, unionized labour, and support for Canadian supply chains in meeting Ontario's electricity needs with the adoption of a pro-nuclear policy resolution at its convention. Read our full press release here: www.thesociety.ca/society_welc...

Sincere thanks to @jamiewestndp.bsky.social, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social, @jameshasaface.bsky.social, Raymond Bhushan, Taras Natyshak and all of our guests for taking some time to learn about the important work Society members do everyday to reduce CO2 emissions and power our economic growth.

Truly disappointed to see you publish a hastily borrowed piece without robust fact-checking or editorial process. Completely undermines your integrity as a credible and serious forum for original policy discussion. Not to mention, 3761 vs 1521 words is a disservice to @jameshasaface.bsky.social

There's been a real generational shift in the debate on nuclear energy among progressives. Young progressives didn't grow up in the shadow of the Cold War, but in the shadow of catastrophic climate change we need nuclear to address. Massive electrification + great jobs = a brighter future for youth.

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out?

The Albertans Counting on America to Help Break Apart Canada Fed up with finding a constitutional path to separation, the leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project are looking for other means

There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country.
National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside.
CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada.
Wake up folks.

At this point, has Mark Carney made any decisions that Pierre Poilievre wouldn't? So far he's playing nice with Trump, promising massive cuts to federal programs so he can spike military spending, and passing multiple bills of dubious constitutionality.

An absolutely deplorable record so far.

Get out your drivers! The Society is excited to announce that we're hosting a charity golf tournament to raise funds for the @cancersociety.bsky.social. If you're a Society member - keep an eye out for registration information in the upcoming weeks. Until then, save the date!

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew had strong words for U.S. lawmakers who had the audacity to send a letter complaining about the wildfires raging in Canada.. 🇨🇦

If you were a member you would give BCAA your route and they would make you a Triptik, a custom flip book of the maps you needed. The real trick was when you drove off the maps and you didn’t pack a big road atlas, which we did in Chicago, leading to toll highway guessing hell

I'm not an expert in education funding like @ricardotranjan.bsky.social, but with 2 kids in high school & one heading to university next year, I've got a PhD in the lived experience of how our school system fails our kids. Dismally depressing to know post-secondary is shaping up to be worse.

Clearly team Poilievre was casting about for someone who had zero chance of building an internal following and displacing PP. They found him.

Globe editorial: In praise of a democracy on paper The use of paper ballots and hand counts for federal elections may be inefficient. But it does display a proper reverence

Globe & Mail is against online voting:

"There are practical arguments in favour of the system used for federal elections. Paper ballots cannot be hacked. A hand-count allows for maximum transparency. A paper ballot gives physical form to democracy."

The view from my front porch. I'm a magnolia free-rider. I get the better view, and my neighbour rakes all the petals.

Conservatives update platform to include omitted 'anti-woke' promise | CBC News The Conservative Party has republished the English-language version of its platform after what it says was a "publishing oversight" resulted in the omission of a previous commitment to crack down on "...

Seems clear Poilievre has given up on attracting new votes. A crackdown on universities that are too "woke" mimics Trump & clearly red meat for the base to gin up turnout. Never seen polling to suggest attacks on academic freedom will win undecideds.

I've spent most of my adult life protesting one thing or another and I hate chants like I hate cancer. Also, hate people who like chants.

It figures that the one and only time I've ever heard from the #LPC MP for #hamont Mountain is the time she's calling me to ask for my vote later this month. It lines up with the one and only e-mail I've ever received in reply to mine to tell me that her office was closed for the holidays.

Yer average Bay Days sale had much better deals than this everything-must-go close out. Truthfully, the more I looked around the more I just felt bad for everyone working there and got the fuck out.

Pierre Poilievre is Trying to Distance Himself From Donald Trump. American Right-Wing Media Keeps Praising Poilievre. American right-wing MAGA personalities are rooting for Pierre Poilievre

Pierre Poilievre is trying to distance himself from Donald Trump

Except American right-wing MAGA media personalities keep rooting for Pierre Poilievre to win

There's more than a passing resemblance.

Neither have ever had a callous from manual labour, so that one is probably a wash.

You'll be back at it next year, I'm sure. Heal fast!
